In case there are any fellow Lefties looking at this:

I have been trying out the Remarkable 2 for a week or so, and also bought the Scribe last night to compare. So far, while the Remarkable 2 is more polished, feels higher-end, etc., the Scribe is winning by a large margin for me for one simple reason: it works for left-handed people in a way the RM2 does not. The RM2 does not rotate when you turn the screen upside down (the top and bottom bezels are not even so I get this), which means you hold it by the thin edge vs. the side bezel for right-handed users. I could get used to that, but the main problem I have is that the Close/X button is in the top left corner and I am constantly hitting it with my palm and closing out of documents. They both have generous return periods so will continue to try them both, but so far I love the Scribe, esp for the price after the trade-in.

I am really liking this Kindle Scribe for note taking. Got a "used" one in "acceptable" condition, but the one they sent was the refurbished version and looked brand new. Can't beat that for $170+ tax I paid. Also purchased a Remarkable 2 to compare. RM2 is much more sleek looking and has a nice leather case (I haven't found a Scribe case that is this slim) and has a tad bit better writing experience, but the backlit display on Scribe, how fast it responds, and futureproofing potential (Scribe came in 2022 vs RM2 from 2000 with Scribe having much better hardware) combined with Scribe having more functionality makes me want to keep Scribe and return/sell my RM2.

Scribe's bigger and heavier, and the Paperwhite is right around a size/weight sweet spot so it is still manageable one-handed especially reading in bed or in transit. The Scribe will be a lot harder or tiring to use one-handed or lifted off a table, a case with a rear hand strap can help with holding but the weight can still be limiting. The advantage to the Scribe is you can elect to use two-column ebook layout so it reads more like a paper book w/ facing pages without sacrificing font size, or you can increase font size more. And the Scribe will be better at PDFs and non-reflowing formats than the Paperwhite b/c of the larger screen. Neither one are all that great at PDF though, but the Scribe at least can do it in a pinch.

I have Boox Note Air 2 and like it.
Last I checked it was rated much better compared to Kindle Scribe, where reviews said scribe software (e.g. handwriting recognition etc.) was not as good as Boox (which has been in the market much longer). Anyone has firsthand experience using scribe versus boox and wants to share their experiences? Thanks in advance.

I really wanted a Boox e-ink tablet, but I'm honestly just confused as to which one to get. They seem like they can run circles around a Scribe. For $230 (after tax) for a new Scribe and Premium Pen was too good to pass up.

What's the difference between Scribe vs. Paperwhite for purely reading purposes? Don't think I will be using Scribe to take notes.
Then you don't really need it.

Received mine tonight and when I turned it on, I was offered the 3 months of Kindle Unlimited for free, even though it didn't let me do that when getting the extra 20% off trade in offer.

Got one, thanks for posting! The 20% with trade in is killer. It's accepting an ancient Amazon Echo device I had in a drawer for an additional 61$ off the 305$ price

Figured it out..going through the trade in link on the scribe page allows you to trade any amazon device

Trying to trade-in an old echo device but it shows the discount is applicable only for new echo devices? Did you run into any problem?

No issues checking out (going to do the trade-in drop off today), I hit the trade-in button on the Scribe page and it preloaded a bunch of the Echos that were tied to my account already, so I just chose it from the list and it let me check out, 61$ discount from the 20% showed up on check out screen. There was also $5 credit for the device itself, but I wasn't too clear if they applied it to the purchase or I'm getting it later

With the latest update, even the experimental web browser is working better than before. Can easily use it for web surfing/reading. Note taking is getting better (compared to when it was launched) and reading is a joyous experience. You can use Send to Kindle in web browser and easily send ebooks or PDF files to the Scribe.

Overall, I love this device. And get the premium pen. That eraser is worth it

I can attest specifically to the amazing experience of the Boox handwriting recognition. I have really bad handwriting, and it recognized my writing with but minimal effort on my part. I've tried with other systems (Win11, S23 Ultra) and they have not worked nearly as well.

I tried with a bunch of my devices that show up in the trade-in list, but for me it keeps saying the 20% will be provided after my trade-in is appraised! Mad
